Abstract

Software architectures are frequently represented as large models where many competing quality attributes have to be taken into account. In this context, there may be a large number of possible alternative architectural transformations that the architecture designer has to deal with. The complexity and dimensions of the solution space make that finding the most appropriate architecture considering several quality attributes is a challenging and time-consuming task. In this paper, we present a model transformation framework designed to automate the selection and composition of competing architectural model transformations. We also introduce a case study showing that this framework is useful for rapid prototyping through model transformations.
